Panic ensued along the Mumbai-Nagpur Samruddhi Highway after over 50 vehicles were punctured passed over an iron board that had fallen on the road.<\/p>\n
The incident occurred around 10 pm on December 29 between the Malegaon and Vanoja toll plaza in Washim district, impacting four-wheelers and cargo trucks. This resulted in a long traffic jam on the highway. Further, commuters were stranded on the highway overnight as no assistance arrived for a long time. It is being investigated if the board fell accidentally or was thrown intentionally.<\/p>\n
This comes at a time the safety on the high-speed corridor is under question. In June, at least six people were killed and four injured in a collision between two cars on the Samruddhi Mahamarg near the Kadwanchi village on Samruddhi Highway in Jalna district.<\/p>\n
The Samruddhi Mahamarg is a partially functional six-lane and 701-km-long access-controlled expressway in Maharashtra. It is one of the country’s longest greenfield road projects connecting Mumbai and the state’s third-largest city Nagpur. It was built at a cost of Rs 55,000 crore.<\/p>\n
